terrible, terrible idea. 1/4 of those students are gonna either lose/not bring their t-shirts. Shoulda just handed them out to them at the gate as well.

9/1/2009 12:17:20 PM

How anyone can be even a casual sports talk poster and still not know by now that THEY ARE GIVING AWAY SHIRTS AT THE GATE is beyond me. damn people. come in here bitching about wearing white and then someone mentions that shirts will be given away and you're all like, "oh...okay then i guess." we've seriously known about this for an eternity. where have you been?!

no, i think we all know

its just that people are being children about it

9/1/2009 12:28:03 PM

black outs / red outs / white outs...only work when the school gives a free t-shirt away to everyone who walks in teh gate.

there is always some stupid girl that doesn't want to wear the right color because it's not a good color on them...fuck it's a football game, not a beauty contest

9/1/2009 12:28:35 PM

^4 Because we hand out paper tickets with assigned seats and no barcode, SWPC members can go through any gate and we were given the shirts and told to give them out at distribution.

9/1/2009 12:30:06 PM

^and because SWPC member are more likely to follow the rule than the general student population because SWPC members could have consequences like losing their ticket privileges

9/1/2009 12:41:14 PM

that too

9/1/2009 1:02:44 PM

Is the fairgrounds lot first come first serve? Do they charge there?

9/1/2009 1:05:04 PM

You need a parking permit to park there. They were handed out this morning at Reynolds.

sad game (sad offense) but the stadium looked great on tv -- i'd say the student section white-out was a success (and everyone else looked great in red), nice work

9/3/2009 10:49:22 PM

whatever

it looked horrible, two sections in white, and of course as usual the rest of the stadium was only 60% red. it was confusing at best. looked like two sections took part in full and the rest did it halfheartedly. i couldnt really hear so i assumed they explained it was only students, but come in after the first 5 minutes and it is just confusing.

can we all agree never to do this again?

9/3/2009 10:53:06 PM

Mehhh ... i thought it looked good. Nothing special -- and almost like we were trying to hard. But it defintiely didn't look bad.

9/3/2009 10:57:59 PM

i thought it looked good.

9/3/2009 11:09:48 PM

they didnt have enough shirts for all the students though. so that sucked.

9/3/2009 11:21:31 PM

[Edited on September 3, 2009 at 11:42 PM. Reason : during halftime]

9/3/2009 11:42:05 PM

only white out we gonna see from here on out is the white of the bleachers as the fans leave in the middle of the third quarter

hopefully the last time that happens.

we need a team to match the fans.

9/3/2009 11:48:57 PM

Wasn't at the game. But it looked good on TV. For real.

9/3/2009 11:49:47 PM

it just made it look like sc had more fans with the white out

9/4/2009 1:40:14 AM

looked great on TV

the team? not so much

9/4/2009 1:53:13 AM

Looked fucking retarded on TV.

Huge sections of white that matched the opposing team's jerseys.

9/4/2009 9:22:46 AM

looked like shit on TV. Why do we do this stupid shit? Oh it's b/c white is the cheapest color Tshirt! And they will probably try to reuse them for the UNC game.

stupid shits, we wear RED!

9/4/2009 10:30:30 AM

My wife said "looks like a lot of people showed up from South Carolina, I can't believe they all wore white!!!", hahaha

that is what i thought when i saw the beat carolina on the shirts.. but if they do try that is easily the stupidest thing i have heard of all year... you wear red to a State vs carolina game.

9/4/2009 11:34:13 AM

How are you gonna reuse a t-shirt in the last week of November?

9/4/2009 11:35:33 AM

they could make more.

9/4/2009 11:37:27 AM

I bartered for an extra tshirt with the intention of selling it after we won, don't think anyone wants it now

9/4/2009 12:37:08 PM

I thought it looked good from the stands

9/4/2009 12:41:02 PM

it looked well orchestrated, but I would have preferred red.

9/4/2009 12:49:50 PM

I agree that it looked like shit. How the hell is a white out supposed to be intimidating?

9/4/2009 1:14:11 PM

I don't think it was supposed to look intimidating. It's really just a sight gag used to stray from the norm and show some creativity. Sound is intimidating. Sights really aren't.

I thought it was a pretty harmless gig. It looked good to me, but I don't care to ever see it again.

9/4/2009 1:51:05 PM

^^ Is red supposed to be intimidating?



I thought it looked great on TV. Predictably, the upper corner of 15 had a lot of red in it. I suppose the people who are too drunk or stubborn to get in to the stadium early are also too drunk or stubborn to assist in the cause for the whiteout. But luckily the students who got there early did a good job.

9/4/2009 2:04:35 PM

Forget about white being the cheapest tshirt....what about those shop rags they had in everyones seat?

9/4/2009 2:45:19 PM

The towels students had on there seats were blank red towel because TheRoadtoTampa.com that sponsored the towels mixed up something really bad and we were given garnet(South Carolina's color) towels. We had to overnight rush deliver to get the red towels we had. They might look bad to you, but at least they were red and not garnet.

i don't know how anyone can say that it was a bad idea... ESPN obviously loved it, they kept cutting to the student section over and over and over throughout the game. it looked great.

9/4/2009 9:02:20 PM

it actually did look good, and would've looked even better had they not run out of shirts.

i wouldn't mind doing it once/year.

9/4/2009 9:04:28 PM

i thought it looked good on tv..

9/4/2009 10:23:51 PM

I saw red in the student sections and white in the rest of the crowd. I think people were confused.

9/4/2009 10:52:56 PM

ha i figure they run out of shirts because i saw non-students going and raiding the boxes at the beginning of the game.

also came across the red towels on the ground after the game... they looked like oil rags.

9/4/2009 10:56:33 PM

Looked great.

9/5/2009 12:26:50 PM

I think the next time we do a white out, the team should wear the all white uniforms. I think that might help the, "wow a lot of _____visiting fans showed up."

Just my two cents...would be nice for it to be by section as well, not just the student sections

Nope, that wasn't it at all. They ran out of shirts. I didn't get one.

9/5/2009 12:42:42 PM

^Get to the game on time

ask penn state.

It went over a lot better than i thought. Looked pretty good. Would Rather just leave it as red, or black. Esp. when the other team is wearing white.
